EFL Port of WebKit

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. As part of KDE framework KHTML was based on Qt but during their porting efforts Apple's engineers made WebKit toolkit independent.

About EFL

The ​Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL for short) are a set of graphical libraries intended to provide easy-to-use resources for building rich user interfaces based applications. It is the core of the ​Enlightenment (E!) window environment. As mentioned in E!'s official web site, "the libraries are meant to be portable and optimized to be functional even on devices such as mobile devices". Its core components are:

Evas: Highly optimized raster canvas

Edje: Declarative UI library

Ecore: Event loop and utility classes

Eina: Basic data types

Embryo: Scripting

About the port

WebKit/EFL is a project aiming at porting WebKit to the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and as the developers also work on the Qt port, we try to keep the implementation as close as possible to that of QtWebKit.
